Generous potions of delicious food! Adding this place as a must-visit whenever I pass through Marondera.
★★★★☆
2024 - had the opportunity of popping back in on my way through Marondera on Sat 6 April. Staff very friendly and helpful and service was fast and efficient. Had a double beef burger which i enjoyed and a coffee.
★☆☆☆☆
Do not buy the ribs! Perhaps you will like the food as they serve it (boiled and drenched in "sauce" which is just soup in my opinion) but, that was a first and definitely the last time. The taste in relation with the price is underwhelming. Much is left to be desired!
